Melan

Melan are "Tactical Angeloid, Type Theta" (戦略エンジェロイドタイプθ（シータ）?) are the Master of Synapse latest mass-produced Angeloid. They appear as black versions of Ikaros, Nymph, and Astraea. There were many more Ikaros Melan than the single copies of Nymph and Astraea. Soon, the copies were sent by their creator to kill Tomoki. One Ikaros Melan came disguised as the real Ikaros after she attacked and brutally harmed Ikaros. After getting Tomoki home she attacked him, causing him to suffer a blow to the head, causing blood loss. Although he survived. On top of that his home was destroyed in the progress. An enraged Astraea attacks Ikaros Melan out of anger for harming the one she loved. However, being a Second-Generation Angeloid, Melan's power far exceeds that of her original counterpart, as her Aegis shield cannot be penetrated even by Astraea's Chrysaor (and breaks the weapon when the later tries to), yet a punch from Ikaros Melan can break through the Aegis L shield which is supposedly stronger than the original Ikaros's Aegis. She is eventually destroyed when the real Ikaros takes a shot from Ikaros Melan's Apollon, then activates her own Aegis around herself and Ikaros Melan so that its explosion (otherwise capable of annihilating an entire country) only blasts the two of them, resulting in a double suicide attack. This results in not just the Melans demise but also caused Ikaros to be 97% damaged and her self-repair program destroyed. After that event, the remaining Ikaros Melans, along with Nymph Melan, and Astraea Melan appear. They over-powered the two angeloids. Nymph Melan tried to used her hacking to get Nymph back under the Man of Synapse's control. However, Nymph's pandora system activated which she used to destroy Nymph Melan and some of the remaining Ikaros Melan, before she over-heated. Tomoki, despite his injuries, managed to crawl to her and caress her head. As an army of Angeloids loomed over them, Tomoki's act activated Ikaros's Pandora program, causing her to evolve into a form called Ikaros Version II. With her new power she was able to defeat Astraea Melan along with the remaining Ikaros Melan. Thus saving Tomoki, Nymph, and Astraea's life. Later Chaos came back and absorbed the Melans body to evolve even further.
